Chapter 23: Hope Of Survival
Three Ghost Controllers, one International Police and two from the civilian Ghost Controller club, one of whom is the president.
Three people, detained one ghost, one Fierce Ghost Revival, one died without an intact corpse, one still unknown if alive.
The three Ghost Controllers failed to detain one ghost.
Liu Yi knew very well what this meant.
“Liu Yi, this is Zhao Jianguo. I now approve you to abandon this mission and prioritize taking the survivors away.”
Liu Yi’s satellite positioning mobile phone on her chest suddenly rang with a middle-aged man’s voice.
As soon as Zhao Jianguo spoke, Liu Yi’s expression changed slightly, but the survivors who heard this felt a surge of joy.
“Captain…”
“Liu Yi, follow the arrangement. Headquarters has dispatched new detectives to handle this Supernatural Event. Based on the current situation, you cannot handle this Supernatural Event.”
Zhao Jianguo’s voice was unquestionable. “The three Ghost Controllers cannot handle this Supernatural Event. Your strength combined cannot surpass that of the three Ghost Controllers.”
“Your only task now is to ensure the survivors’ survival.”
“When necessary, preserve yourself.”
Liu Yi fell silent upon hearing the last sentence. “Okay, I understand. I will obey the order.”
Zhao Jianguo did not reply again.
Liu Yi composed her emotions. She knew very well that what Zhao Jianguo said was the most correct choice.
So, she should now take these survivors out of the Ghost Domain and away from this Supernatural Event.
However, the top priority now was not leaving, but clearing the hidden dangers.
Liu Yi suddenly looked at Zhang Baihui’s stomach.
“Come out. I can hear your presence.”
“What… what comes out?” Zhang Baihui was startled and quickly looked behind her.
But behind her, there were only her colleagues and nothing else.
The survivors around Zhang Baihui suddenly realized something and quickly moved away from her.
They all rushed to stand behind Liu Yi.
Liu Yi wiped the blood flowing from her ear, her gaze icy cold.
“Liu, Liu Detective, I, I…” Zhang Baihui was extremely anxious, not knowing what had happened.
But she could tell from the expressions: Liu Yi looked solemn, and the colleagues who had been around her earlier were looking at her in terror, as if she were a ghost.
Liu Yi did not speak, just stared fixedly at Zhang Baihui’s abdomen.
“A fine Fierce Ghost.”
After a long time, nothing happened. Just as the survivors were puzzled, Zhang Baihui’s eyes rolled back, and a pitch-black eye without pupils tore through the skin on her face and emerged.
“Black eye without pupils, you’re a Ghost Controller with Liu Lin!”
Liu Yi’s expression changed slightly. This person was actually hiding inside a living person’s body!
Was this really a Ghost Controller?
The black eye moved slightly, sizing up Liu Yi. It was a good hiding body, but once inside, he might end up controlled by the other party.
“Let’s make a transaction, Liu Detective.”
A young voice rang out.
“What transaction?”
Liu Yi’s vigilance did not diminish in the slightest.
“I’ll tell you the Killing Pattern of the Source Ghost in this Supernatural Event. When you take these survivors away, take me with you, how about that?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi thought for a moment and unhesitatingly agreed:
“Okay.”
Seeing Liu Yi agree, Lin Qian did not find it surprising. For the detective coming to assist, this was the best transaction.
“A smart choice, but before I tell you the Fierce Ghost’s Killing Pattern, I want to ask a question.”
“Ask.” Liu Yi frowned. The other party seemed unhurried, not anxious to leave this Supernatural Event.
“Do you have a Ghost Domain?” Lin Qian asked without hesitation.
“Ghost Domain?” Liu Yi raised an eyebrow. “The Fierce Ghost I control does not have a Ghost Domain.”
The moment she heard this question, Liu Yi knew what the other party meant.
The other party was checking if she had the ability to leave the Ghost Domain.
By common knowledge, to leave a Ghost Domain, one basically needed a Ghost Domain to do it.
But she was an exception.
“Although I don’t have a Ghost Domain, I have the ability to leave a Ghost Domain.”
Lin Qian, who had been disappointed, suddenly became excited at this moment.
“It seems my fate is not yet over.”
“Now, you should tell me what you know.” Liu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Headquarters dispatched her to handle this Supernatural Event precisely because they valued her ability to leave the Ghost Domain.
If not for that, Headquarters would not have sent her.
For a Supernatural Event with a Ghost Domain, if the dispatched Ghost Controller handling it lacked the ability to leave the Ghost Domain.
But if unable to handle it, that Ghost Controller would be lost directly in the Supernatural Event.
That would be a major loss for Headquarters.
Headquarters did not have so many Ghost Controllers to lose.
The eerie eye on Zhang Baihui’s face moved.
“Dispatching you was an extremely correct choice by Headquarters.”
“You should have noticed that the survivors here are all female.”
“I saw.” Liu Yi nodded.
This was one point she was also puzzled about, but now, hearing the other party mention it, she had already guessed some things.
“That’s right, exactly as you think.”
Liu Yi’s pupils shrank slightly. How did the other party know what she was thinking?
Lin Qian had no idea what the other party was thinking and did not have mind-reading ability; he just said it casually.
“The ghost here prioritizes males in its Killing Pattern.”
“That’s why the survivors are all female.”
“The ones who just attacked these survivors were only Ghost Slaves. Of course, that revived Fierce Ghost doesn’t count.”
“He also died at that ghost’s hand, then Fierce Ghost Revival occurred.”
“Besides that, this ghost disappears when attacked, but there are times it does not.”
“Earlier, Liu Lin, I, and the revived Ghost Controller you saw tried to detain that ghost together.”
“That time, the opponent did not disappear, but two Fierce Ghosts with the same supernatural properties as the original appeared.”
“We failed to detain it.”
“Liu Lin should still be alive. If he were dead, that ghost should have come for these survivors by now.”
“But it hasn’t come yet, which means Liu Lin is still alive, but he won’t last much longer.”
At this point, the eerie eye moved. “Your captain made a smart choice.”
“With just the supernatural power of the Fierce Ghost on you, it’s impossible to detain the opponent.”
Liu Yi’s expression fluctuated. This ghost’s Terror Level had already exceeded her handling limit.
She suddenly understood why the other party was hiding inside a survivor.
The other party was avoiding the Fierce Ghost’s attacks.
“Liu Yi, detach from this Supernatural Event immediately!” Zhao Jianguo’s stern voice rang out.
Liu Yi did not hesitate this time. “Understood.”
“Follow me, don’t fall behind. I’ll take you out of the Ghost Domain as soon as possible.”
With that, Liu Yi gave Zhang Baihui a deep look and stepped past her.
Lin Qian controlled Zhang Baihui’s body to make way.
She would not let him walk behind her; he could only be at the end of the group.
One by one, the terrified survivors passed by him.
Lin Qian just watched, making no move.
Until the last person passed, he followed.
She did not have much time left.
